Bonobo: make love not war!
Chimp: War… War never changes.
Orangutan: where sleep.
@@tylerwilson5769 Gibbon: WOOP *swings away*
Makes you wonder. We share almost as much DNA with both apes as they do each other yet they and we a so different.
Happy/ content gorilla: Chill homie
Angry gorilla: King Kong
The bonobo females learned what human females haven't, they could run the world if you give the males all the play they want
More needs to be known about the Bonobo. Putting them together with Chimps is a disservice to how unique they are.
100%
They are like Chimps, but peaceful, and addicted to sex but that's how it is
Pan troglodytes and Pan paniscus are the same genus, as Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo Heidelbergensis, Homo floriensis, etc are all genus Homo (humans). So it makes sense to compare them somewhat.
They’re always the forgotten ones even tho they’re the most similar in behavior to humans.
@@CherryJuli The way sex is engrained as a part of their socialization I think is much more similar to humans
Orangutans are fairly easy to see by humans; but they co-evolved with predators like tigers, which are basically colorblind. Their chroma (brightness) is similar to the surrounding forest, so tigers would have a hard time seeing them. It's the same reason orange tigers are hard to see by their prey.
I never knew this, great insight!
@@Gianno_ it's interesting that of today's vertebrates, it's mainly birds and primates that can see in color. Both groups are primarily arboreal and social, relying on vision to identify and communicate with each other. OTOH many, many invertebrate groups not only see in color, but have color vision that exceeds ours at either or even both ends of the light spectrum.
I believe all animals can see colors and and some of many see few colors.
My car has black interior and mosquitoes like to hide during the daylight.
@@isaacstone7899 detecting light and darkness is different from detecting colors. I know insects can see color, including colors that we humans can't.
As for other animals: I did write "basically" colorblind because animals do have some cone cells in their retinas and can presumably see a little color. But they may not be able to see all colors, and they may have too few cones to see colors very well. Nocturnal animals have many more rod cells than cones.
It's still birds and primates that have the best color vision among vertebrates. On the other hand, many invertebrates have far better color vision. I believe, off the top of my head, that mantis shrimp can see the most colors of any animal, based on the variety of cone cells in their eyes.
@@JohnDrummondPhoto so does that mean the Tiger vision's basically stronger yet blander than us humans?
Other than Gorillas, gibbons have to be my favourite primate. Specifically the Siamang gibbons. I really love the sound they make and how they make it.
Totally! I think the silvery gibbon is my favourite but it's hard to choose!
I hadn't even heard of gibbons untill a couple years ago. They are adorable and move like the perfect abominable snowman. Probably my favorite type of ape.
Gibbons are the best...they are always hilarious comedians.
@@Textbooktravel I Love the video! and for what it's worth Siamang is pronounced "See-uh-mung" with a barely there 'h' on the second sylable.
Orangutans are underrated I think. They're just so pudgy, curious and goofy. And they're much quieter. But yeah. There's an entire column on the Wikipedia article on Gibbons about how they were viewed in ancient China when Gibbons lived there. They were considered the aristocrat gentlemen of the forest. Compared to the Macaques who were the noisy rabble of the forest. Gibbons were considered graceful in their movements, aloof from humans and generally got along. Macaques were thought of as grabby with humans, greedy and as often bullying and fighting one another.
I was fortunate enough on my honeymoon in 2009 to visit a family of mountain gorillas in Rwanda. That experience will stay with me forever. From the silverback lying only a few metres from us, just keeping tabs on his family to the 2 youngsters playing in the trees to the juvenile having a massive sulk slightly apart from the family, looked just like a child who has just been told they can’t have that toy they wanted. Amazing creatures, so much like us.
@boy Afrika beautiful News
I think its better to say we're just like them
I remember watching an episode of Orangutan Island where there had been a flood. One orangutan learned how to catch catfish and taught the rest of the group to catch them too. They all started eating catfish along with their fruits and veggies. It was so interesting to see them behave this way. Even their main carer even stated that this was very unusual and fascinating behavior.
makes me wonder how many useful things we could show them and introduce them to that they will adopt and pass down to their young
@@minephlip Such as?
Eating meat could change them dramatically. They wouldn't need to spend nearly as much time looking for food. Spare time is what accelerated human civilization.
@@Bob_Adkins That's true, but I'm pretty sure the keepers bring food for them on the island. It's a protected area and they are split up by age, so I don't think wild orangutans would be able to learn this unless they are fully released into the wild. I haven't seen the show in a long time, so I can't remember how they handle the orangutans once they're grown up, but it would be quite amazing if they could pass that on to wild groups.🤔
@@FoxFighter-HellBringer democracy and freedom.
Always been a fan of orangutans, love seeing something so related to us, yet so different! (Also poor gibbons aren’t allowed to join the great ape club)
orangutans are the best they are so cool and awesome i love orangutans
@@PupperTiggle yes
Im glad that humans are helping young orangutans and raising them I hope we can save them before they go extinct or if they ever do go extinct
@@PupperTiggle Sounds like something an Orangutan would say...
it's funny to me that orangutans are both orange and tan
This always makes me wonder how the first humans were actually like outside of the archeological record.
I wondered about this too, and at some point I started calling humans: Grassland chimpanzees. As I do think that our evolution is highly bound to the retreating of the jungles and forrests for savannah.
@@Panteni87 I personally would like to call us grassland Bonobos as well. I'd like to imagine humans back then not as violent as Chimpanzees, but I could only dream of humans being as peaceful as Bonobos.
@@martijn9568 that last line hit hard 😭
@@Panteni87 we were never chimpanzees guys. The ancestors of both of was probably an upright walking great ape in Europe I believe. Knuckle walking evolved later.
@@martijn9568 our ancestors are speculated to be monogamous because we actually are pretty peaceful as far as primates go. Not bonobo level but we aren’t so violent as chimpanzees and it’s probably because of us being the most co-operative apes. It’s because of that some scientists think is why we have white in our eyes to better communicate via eye focusing and signalling. Take rolling your eyes for example as a form of body language.
"as both species age, some of their hair also tends to turn gray and the forehead can also become bald".
As male from homo genus i found it very relatable
anyoje who can walk up to a gorilla and shoot it will have no less trouble shooting a person for their own gain. i have never experienced seeing them in the wild. i know its a very emotional experience and makes you have so much respect for them. you have to be a monster to be able to poach them. anyone who gets caught should never be set free
Why gorillas? I think all of the great apes should be included in this comment
Like sharks, many people believed gorillas were monsters for the longest time. This was used to justify killing the gorillas.
In the Virunga region, stories were told of "Ngagi" stealing women and destroying farms. Fortunately attitudes are changing about the "wild men of the mountains."
Feed the poachers to a band of chimpanzees. I’d say feed em to the gorillas, but gorillas are vegetarians
@@thegameranch5935 chimps are bastards though.
@@thegameranch5935 chimps, and adult male orangutans can sometimes be genuinely dangerous to humans, So in rare circumstances self-defense might be a viable reason. However, Gorillas almost never attack unless provoked.
So sad how every video of animals is full of "endangered due to habitat loss and poaching". I wish humans could collectively hurry up and realise that the beauty of the wilderness means more than however much money they could get through destruction.
The Problem is an extreme gap in wealth between people. In africa there are many who do not really have anything so they are open to poaching for money. On the other side you have people in the western world or asia who have so much they develop a taste for shenanigans such as poached animals, or parts thereof
The only way to solve this problem is to legalize MURDER so we can murder poachers, pedophiles, psychopaths, severely mentally ill, disabled, and other undesirable people. That’ll significantly reduce human population and habitat loss.
They...they love mangos too...they... are vegi giants... who Need more good...then an...elephant...if size...compared... and...would...still be... vegetarian... is honorable.... king koKong... no...food...
@@jeremySwerbs are you having stroke?
No, it doesn't.
Where you live there was wilderness before.
18:39 19:06 Bonobos? More like BonoBASED. This is what we need more of in human society.
Definitely not.
They have sex I front of their children so much that they mimic it, even when they’re to young to want that on their own.
I do NOT want to live in a society like that!
* non human apes. remember the homo genus is still a genus of great apes. btw gibbons are one of my favorite primate species. there really is nothing like them. being the only family of lesser apes
Thank you! I've just re-worked the title and thumbnail, appreciate the feedback. I think gibbons are my favourite too! I love the variation of their fur, the silvery gibbon is just beautiful!
I don’t know, there are so many things that apes have in common with each other that they don’t have in common with us.
Must say as an animal enthusiast I LOVE your detailed explanations off multiple species, you do it in a way which is easy to understand especially for someone who is autistic like me
Do you like legos
Just found your channel and now it’s definitely one of my new favorites! Keep up the good work
Gibbons pack a lot of life into 25 years. The ability to swing through the trees seems like a super power
They're like natural acrobats with long flexible noodle arms.
You can do it with a little practice.
Orangutans are my favourite animals of them all. Big adult male orangutans with flanges are so majestic.
They seem almost mythical.
THANK YOU! The best video about apes on UA-cam, great info with amazing clips🙌 And right after I rewatched Planet of the Apes film series, what a timing!
20:30
Actually one of the silverback's most important duties is to protect the children. Many females can kill the young of other females or at least abuse them. They also dominate and abuse each other. The Silverback often displays dominance to put such females in their place, reminding them that they are all equal under him and that he won't tolerate his young being abused.
It’s a lot like that in modern day humans too, the evil step-mother trope is as old as primates.
@@bendover9813 It's more the abusive jealous aunt trope. There is an internal hierarchy with the females as well and most abuse happens by lesser females to the young of higher ones.
There is a reason why most human cultures have branded that the ultimate form of pettiness and destructive envy.
Yes
@@bendover9813 that's just an "auntie" 🐜
Apes in particular I find pretty despicable to poach and more so the people actually wanting trophies of them. I see us in their eyes especially.
While I do find all of them very interesting, I have always admired Gorillas the most. What fierce and majestic creatures.
Please do a detailed video on Non-simian Primates! Big respect to you for your hardwork and dedication. Much love from India 🇮🇳
Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!! It's on the way! I have two monkey videos to do and then one on prosimians to finish the primates series. Indian National Parks is also on the way, which I'm really excited for, you are so lucky to call India your home :)
I appreciate your work, well made!
Thank you very much! Have a great week :)
This is so informative!!! Fantastic reporting; I enjoy this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝
the ad bit was so funny, very creative!!
loved the vid, subscribed 😉
When I was in 8th grade, my biology class took a trip to the zoo and we each had to choose an animal to do an assignment on. They had a male gibbon named Caruso and when we were looking into his habitat, he came swinging forward and kicked the glass to try to scare us and I immediately decided I wanted to do my class project on gibbons.
I used to not like apes when I was a kid, but today I find them so fastinated! awesome video!
I love this channel, helps me learn and it's also really relaxing & calming to watch because animals just make me happy
Really informative and entertaining. Thanks for the upload.
we've learned a lot about bonobos in recent years. and it's some time since we determined that they are a distinct species to chimpanzees. their life and behaviour is different to chimpanzees in so many ways. there is no good reason to lump them in together in an otherwise interesting and informative video.
ETA also, the nuclear family is not the most common family structure in humans globally, the extended family is!
This is exactly why I read the title and decided not to watch the video. An unforgivable oversight.
@@Me-yq1fl "The bonobo (/bəˈnoʊboʊ, ˈbɒnəboʊ/; Pan paniscus) is an endangered great ape. It is one of the two species making up the genus Pan, the other being the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes).[4] While bonobos (formerly known as the pygmy chimpanzee) are now recognized as a distinct species in their own right, they were initially thought to be a subspecies of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) due to the physical similarities between the two species." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo
@@Me-yq1fl
"Chimps" are Pan troglodytes and "Bonobos" are Pan paniscus. They are the same genus, not the same species.
@Me You're not making sense. In order to be analogous to the different gorillas and orangutans, the pans would have to be the bonobo chimp and the [something else] chimp. They're not.
But it was mentioned in this video that prior to discovering (and proving via DNA analysis) that they are seperate species, they WERE thought of that way. IIRC bonobos were known as pygmy chimps, being a bit smaller on average. Are you sure you didn't pick this up from a source that is now outdated?
For me it is Pongo, the lone monk of the forest, packed with plenty of Antediluvian wisdom and soul.
their babies are also just incomprehensibly precious
Great video well made learnt things I didn’t know thanks keep it up
Another amazing video!
I hope that the apes can continue the journey alongside us. It would be so sad for our cousins to go extinct, when they are the only other animals that can remind us of ourselves.
Great video.I find apes, dolphins and whales to be the most interesting animals.Forgot the awesome octopus.
This was a beautiful video, and possibly the smoothest ad Segway I've ever seen 😅
That's "segue". Not trying to put you down for not knowing. Just an fyi. Now you know.
That was the best sponsor transition I've seen. Would join that class.
Great video!
Im having trouble choosing my favorite ape but its or orangutans or chimpanzees (which also include bonobos)
I love orangutans because the babies are mega cute and the relationship between the mother and son/daughter is both wholesome and fascinating, but i also love chimps because their babies are cute and their mini societies and primitive politics really interest me.
Gibbon are also very cute, the babies are ugly but in a cute way and i love how acrobatic they are and their sexual dimorphism, and the air pouch that Siamang have reminds me of frogs so thats a bonus
orangutan best because they are orange and cool and smart but sad because satu orangutan died :(
Pretty interesting video but really annoyed that Bonobos got lumped in with Chimpanzees. They're their own separate species, they should have gotten their own commentary, not just added in as basically other chimps
Thank you this was very well done! 🤔 👍😁🙌☺️😊
@Textbook Travel Nice work. I would have loved it if you had played those ending gibbon calls with a disco backbeat, because that's what it sounds like when humans of that era would "oo-IH! oo-IH!" on the dance floor. Anyway, videos like this should be extensively used in classrooms. With minors in Biology and Anthropology, and watching others' video productions frequently, I still learned things here I had not been taught or learned elsewhere. That's a unique gift; thank you.
That last part really got me I thought of a bunch of kids hooping and hollering in a tree and that's what we used to do on our farm in Ada Oklahoma we used to sit in the apple orchard or the pair Orchard up in the trees and just hoping holler and Howl at the Moon and that's what those Gibbons sounded like to me sounded Almost Human
They are like kids! So cute and innocent. It's a shame we as humans don't make it a huge priority to care for the world we live in. I wish we could do more as everyday people but sadly it's the big corporations and governments that need to change. May mother nature have mercy on us.
Can you do a video on the classification of big sheep
I really want to dive into Bovidae at some point so I will get to sheep for sure!! Thanks for the suggestion!
That was great. Thanks
Very fascinating ❤
Orangutans feel hauntingly human. In an uncomfortable way too. There's _soul_ behind what they do and how the look at things, and nobody can tell me otherwise.
yeah they are creepy yet facinating
Would love to see my League of Legends teammates to be included in a follow up video
Keep doing what you’re doing, the views will come
Great vid
It seems like a natural thing for not only humans to have a midday rest but for chimps as well. I guess it's a trait we share.
Thank you for a fabulous video.
Thanks Adrian! Hope you're having a great weekend :)
22:22 that's actually adorable
Pls do a top ten largest owls video!
The thumbnail for this video looks like a meme:
>Left: an average coconut fan
>Right: average banana enjoyer
Pick your side
Always thought it was crazy the biggest and baddest great ape was strictly a herbivore despite the occasional insect casualty Wonder if it’s a coincidence that the declining population of some of these are because of how many predators are in the area like large snakes, leapords, crocs, and the most dangerous tigers who’s followed by leopards because they have the ability to enter their element up in the trees
my god that sponsor segue was incredible
Thank you for this. I love great apes!!!
Me too! Thanks for commenting, have a great week :)
@@Textbooktravel just for you chief!
I take it they all still have their palmaris longus so the babies can hang onto their mothers. And to make it easier to be in trees. I've lost the one in my left wrist. I did a test in a group and some people still had both, one person had none, but most had lost one.
I don't want any of these relatives to go extinct.
Can you make a video talking about different monkeys?
Where to sign up for the pongo pilates class lol. i need that
Apes are so amazing considering they’re so close to use, we are not the only ape capable of excess, or murder.
As we live our lives unbothered, they live theirs filmed and hunted. Constantly relocating thanks to us. The greatest of the apes.
No Sasquatch? Disappointed 😔
@@Me-yq1fl well they might be real but we can't take some footprint and a singal video for full proof
11:38 That picture of the Bonobo on the right looks like my old grandpa smoking a cigarette on the front porch in the morning lol
I’m just watching this so I can get a good reference of what a Sasquatch might look like.
Humans have been foreshadowed in the video by saying 'habit destruction'.
Orangugang represent 🦧
could you please do one on the other simians like monkeys or maybe even lemurs in the future 🙂
Chimpanzee : we will attack you for no reason!
Gorilla : Just dont disturb me or else
Orangutan : Hello fellow humans!, do you guys have some food for me?
I am just a primate watching a video about other primates
I really hope I get to hold a baby Gorilla once in my lifetime
oh my god same
My favorite three apes are (in order) gorillas, gibbons, and orangutans.
4:52 I think you messed up in differenciating east and west.
Considering the most if not all great apes can't swim, I wonder why humans learned that ability 🤔
The other great apes cannot swim because they are too dense- they'd just sink straight to the bottom. Humans are a lot smaller and have less dense muscles which makes us lighter & weaker but gives us the ability to keep ourselves above water.
Where many animals can naturally swim, its an ability we have to learn. Yet, interestingly, babies seem to learn to swim quite easily compared to adults.
Humans shut off a myostatin gene which makes the other apes ripped as a weightlifter, that may have something to do with it. This gene sometimes reoccurs in humans causing an atavism (the return of a dormant ancestral trait in an individual) making them very muscular from childhood (this is also why some humans are born with tails, which most always gets surgically removed soon after birth. Google it)
If I'm not mistaken other apes can swim, they just don't like to.
Wtf are you talking about?
Humans can't naturally swim - unlike most primates.
If a human, who wasn't taught how to swim, falls into water, they're quite likely to drown. That wouldn't happen to most monkeys.
Who the hell eats apes?
Chinese
@@thanosal-titan And some tribes in Africa. In one region a gorilla would be traditionally eaten upon the coronation of a chief. At other times gorilla flesh was banned.
Also Indonesian groups of people eat orangutans
Other apes.
@@maverick2560 only chimps
My understanding is that most mammals besides monkeys lack red color vision. Thus red fur would appear green to most animals, including predators like tigers. But other orangutans would be able to see each other more easily.
Great video bro, could you make a video about american primates?
Feels like life is a race to become the dominating species on a planet. Perhaps if we humans were to disappear one day for any reason, one of these other apes would pick up the slack eventually. As for poaching while it is very bad, it depends on what the circumstances are. If you're a poor family living in huts and that is your main food source(or income), you can't blame them. They're just living like everyone else. It's easy to sit behind your computer and judge others for not being as successful as you, mind you that "success" is completely random. You have no idea where you're going to be born and grow up, you're just making the best of what you have.
Animals don't usually dominate the planet with the exception of Homo sapien sapiens specifically (because we're stupid).
@@whatabouttheearth What I meant was that there is always something up on top of the food chain and that is us. Despite us not being very well built, without tools we'd struggle against many other predators(I'd imagine we did at some point). If we're talking about alien lifeforms it's very possible this is exclusive to intelligent life.
The sad part is that we walked alongside other human like beings for a long time. They're no longer here today probably because there was a conflict and we were just more. We can't even get a long even if our hair or skin color is different. Maybe the other "human" races got absorbed into us through breeding(I can't remember the names beside Neanderthals, but there were more).
You're leaving out the fact that we have the intellectual capacity to understand the implications and consequences of our actions, and to plan accordingly and conscientiously.
If it's going to be so difficult to support a family where you live, and moving elsewhere is beyond your means, then here's a novel idea: Don't reproduce. Another way of stating what we already have stated is that the habitat is already saturated with humans, and can't support any more without damaging some aspect of it, maybe irrevocably.
We have free will. One of the attributes of truly ethical behavior is doing the right thing, even when our own individual lives will be negatively impacted. I realize that this is not very popular these days. But it IS an option.
A poor family is wasting their time hunting apes for food when there's other animals that are more common to hunt
Do Gibbons really not reach sexual maturity until they're about middle age? 🤯😲
Like most humans tbh
Thank u
every time i see through an ape's eyes, i see thought and intelligence, a primal form of that but it is there nonetheless. that's why i can't imagine poaching them or even eating them (not onlybisbis hazardous, i consider it borderline cannibalism). we should protect these animals no matter what since they are our closest relatives and are thinking and feeling creatures like us.
Most manmals are also thinking and feeling. Apes aren't special, only we are
Hey I don’t see bigfoot on here come on everyone knows there’s 3 diff types of Bfoot
The title makes me annoyed because, there are 5 groups of apes, not just 4. It is well understood that humans are indeed apes, but you are ignoring them. It's sort of like saying birds are not dinosaurs, or a greater extent reptiles.
I guess. But we already know the behaviors of humans lol
I just realized this comment is unnecessary.
That's a great point, thank you! I've updated the title :)
I wonder how extinct human species' groupings worked and also how did modern human groupings work before agriculture was invented.
0:19 Dababy LESSS GOOO
Why are the African apes black, and the Asian apes yellow? Evolution seems kind of racist.
None of them are yellow, the hell are you on?
@@maverick2560 Yellowish. Even in the thumbnail, African side is black, Asian side is Orange and yellowish.
Cuz black is cool
It’s for camouflage, The water in peat swamp forests, where orangutans live tends to be a muddy orange. Sunlight reflected off this water can give the forest an orange cast, making orangutans hard to see in dappled light.
@@nojorooney It makes sense, that it should be something in the environment. But both Africa and Asia are huge stretches of continent, each with various environments. The orangutan is orange, but that little monkey behind it is yellow, presumably from a different location. But in all of Africa's vast and varied landscapes, it looks like all the apes are black.
And then... the same goes for the people, who are also apes. Black in Africa, yellowish in Asia. How does this happen? Just coincidence? It can't all be from light reflecting off of peat bogs. Surely not all of Asia is covered in peat bogs, and surely there are a few peat bogs in Africa..
0:56 that baby made me think of Albert Einstein lmfao 😅
delightful
Okay now do it again it with fictional ape creatures from tv shows or movies. Like King Kong, king Louie, curious George, and spidermonkey from Ben 10.
Seeing some misinformed commentators here so I’ll just go ahead and say it, the channel maker specifically said “Non-human apes” because humans ARE a species of ape, regardless of whatever you feel about it, it is a simple fact.
Nice and informative vid, but please also use metric.
i saw the orangutan eating a slow loris too
I don't know if it exists or not, but there should be like a family tree styled website, but for the animal kingdom going back all the way before the dinosaurs and stuff.
Lets see. Gibbons, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans... I feel like we are forgetting something.
I love chimps. Theyre one of my favorite animals. But being a baby chimp would thoroughly suck.
Can we do a comparison of the human apes now?
This makes me wanna play Ancestors again lol
